How can we make Planner better?

User-Defined Status/Stages

Presently, to define status of a task, there are only three options available with the user, namely, Not Started, In Progress, Complete.

Provision to user's to create more status-tags will help track the status.

    Another vote for this nearly 5 year old idea - Task lifecycles are more complex than just "waiting", "going", "done". There really should be the ability to have multiple customizable progress labels with customizable icons (include pie charts as a default, along with some icons for waiting, stopped, narwhals, etc.). Depending on the task, there can be creation, assignment, staging, in progress, waiting, stopped, failed, completed, and "bookshelved". I would like to be able to show people what the status of each task is at a glance, so they can see where things are stuck.

    Somehow landed here to see if there was an update on adding status (progress) to the drop down. Sadly nothing has been done with this basic request in such a long time.

    crikey - this too please.

    Mad its not already a feature. So many key mvp features missing from Planner...

    Pelase add a functionality to customize the status (add, rename, ...). The only 3 status are not enough to manage a team board

    Yes, agree this a much required field. Some times tasks can be on hold/blocked and we need a status for that. also tasks can be deferred or cancelled too.

    I like Glinda Pasquil's list. I would change proofing to review and add returned (because there isn't an option for not approved).

  • Gilda Pasquil commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    I would love to be able to add my own as needed, but these are ones I'd like to see

    - Not Started (Plan)
    - In Progress (Do)
    - On hold (Wait)
    - Proofing (Check)
    - Authorize (Approve)
    - Completed (Done)

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Yes, vote up from here also. Fully customizable status codes in addition to the three basic

  • Kasper Zuidberg commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Yes please, this makes the tool much more usefull.

    (Where can I also make a request for a due-date per check-list item?)
